Abstract
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive soil-dwelling and endospore-forming bacterium in the phylum Firmicutes. B. subtilis strain PY79 is a prototrophic laboratory strain that has been highly used for studying a wide variety of cellular pathways. Here, we announce the complete whole-genome sequence of B. subtilis PY79.
Highlights
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive soil-dwelling and endospore-forming bacterium in the phylum Firmicutes
The whole-genome shotgun sequence for JH642 is available, but it contains 286 nucleotides located in regions of ambiguous sequence
The PY79 genome is 154,156 nucleotides shorter than that of JH642, and, using the script run-mummer3, we found there are 3,641 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between JH642 and PY79 [7]
Summary
Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive soil-dwelling and endospore-forming bacterium in the phylum Firmicutes. Bacillus subtilis has been studied under laboratory conditions for Ͼ100 years, yielding tremendous insight into the biology of Gram-positive bacteria. Laboratory studies have primarily used the strains B. subtilis PY79 and JH642 [1]. PY79 is a prototroph lacking many of the mobile genetic elements studied in JH642 [4, 5].
